Overview
The AFP-400 is a modular, intelligent Fire Alarm Control Panel (FACP) with an extensive list of
powerful features. The CPU module, power supply module, and cabinet combine to create a
complete fire control system for most applications such as commercial, residential and industrial
buildings. Optional modules mount to the chassis to provide additional output circuits.
Unlike conventional fire control panels, the AFP-300/400 intelligently communicates with each
detector and Input/Output module on the entire system. Thus providing accurate information as
to the exact point of alarm and the ability to operate specific outputs using programmable logic
functions. The method of communication with field devices is a high-speed proprietary protocol
capable of supporting up to 99 detectors and 99 modules per two-wire loop.
The AFP-300 panel is capable of 1 loop and the AFP-400 is capable of 2 loops. Each of the
panels can also accommodate up to 10 Annunciators, each can provide 32 x fully
programmable LED indications, 16 x single pushbutton functions, 8 x relay outputs, remote LCD
displays etc.
These systems due to their immense flexibility require a firm understanding of the total
operation of the system for their correct operation. Please ensure that the following document is
read in its entirety before making any attempt to operate the system.
Passwords
As the program in the system is critical to the correct operation during fire alarm conditions, it is
protected from modification by a five-digit password. All other features are available without
password protection.
Please ensure the password is recorded and stored in a safe place as it remains unique and
your key to future system modification.
Operating Features
Alarm Verification selection per point, with tally.
Silence Inhibit timer and Auto Silence timer.
Automatic time-of-day and day-of-week controls functions, with holiday option.
User-defined password and key-protected nonvolatile memory.

Note:
If optional shield used, do not connect to the spare terminal on the detector base, join the shield
and insulate it from the other cables.
Note:
You must use resettable power on MMX-2’s on an AFP400.
You cannot have AVF on an MMX-2 Module.
CMX-2’s are used for Bells, Solenoids or any general relay application and can be monitored
outputs or relay outputs.
Shorts on the branch of an isolated communication loop are isolated from all devices installed
before the ISO-X
This Module is a single input device, and can be used for Flow switch, Tamper Switch, sprinkler
pressure switch, and pump run/stop, and Tank Hi/Low monitoring.
Maximum 700 mtrs distance and maximum 20 Ohms resistance.
The wiring of both the XP-5C and XP-5M are wired exactly as the CMX-2 and MMX-101
devices, the only difference being that they share the same loop connection.
Shield Termination
Connect to Enclosure
Loop+ Prior to connection,
check with
VOM for external
grounds.
Loop -
If Using optional shielded twisted pair cable to minimise radiated emissions of radio
frequency energy, do not allow the shield drain wire to enter the cabinet. Connect the drain
wire to the outside of the cabinet via an earth type connector. Maintain the continuity of the
shield wire throughout the loop but do not connect to any devices, do not allow the shield to
become grounded and only earth one end.
1. Check continuity of loop wiring, by placing a short on one end and reading the short with a
multimeter at the other end.
2. Check the loop resistance, same as above (be sure to set the multimeter to ohms), the loop
resistance cannot exceed 40 ohms, which is 20 ohms per leg.
3. Check for devices incorrectly wired, set the multimeter to diode Test, and place the leads on
the cable, the reading should be approx .645,- reverse the leads- now the reading should be
approx 1.2 or higher, if both readings read low- this indicates a device incorrectly wired, or a
short on the wiring.
Note: (Each device has a diode installed)
4. Voltage reading, set the multimeter to D.C. volts and read the voltage at the loop card before
connecting the loop, the reading should be approx. 24 volts, now connect the loop, the
reading should now be 15-16 volts. If the voltage goes down low this could indicate a short
on the line, or there is a device incorrectly wired (possible Reverse polarity), find the device
and correct the loop connections at that device.
5. Earth Fault test, Select ohms on the multimeter and check between each leg of the loop and
earth, if the reading falls below 50,000 ohms, an earth fault will appear on the loop when
connected, find the cause of the earth fault and rectify. (Possible causes of an earth fault are
moisture, inadequate insulation from surrounding building, equipment or materials).
NOTE:
Loop Resistance Measurement when ISO-X devices are present and when power is removed
from the Loop, the positive side of the circuit is opened at each ISO-X isolation module. To
measure the Loop resistance, temporarily place a jumper between Terminals 2 and 4 on
each ISO-X while taking measurements. Remember to remove all the jumpers and test all
isolator modules when you have finished taking the readings.
Programming
Overview

CBE Equation
Each input can be assigned up to five different software zones (1-99 or SPL Zones). All inputs
are also assigned to Z00 (General Alarm Bus), which insure that any Fire Alarm Device will
activate a Fire Alarm condition. Note that all inputs have default zone assignments.
Each output can be assigned from one to five different software zones (1-99 or SPL Zones).
A zone can have no input/output assigned, or unlimited inputs/outputs may be assigned to one
zone. Note that zone status is also transmitted on the EIA-485 circuits to ACS Group 1, P9-P64
